👋🏼 just wanted to share with you a new diagnosis. As suspected, I have craniocervical instability. My skull is compressing my brainstem causing my breathing + other problems. I’m having surgery later this month to stabilize my skull + neck. Learn more: medium.com/@jenbrea/a-new…

Craniocervical instability and atlantoaxial instability are a common complication of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, especially #hEDS. I don’t meet the criteria but it’s clear hypermobility is an important part of my clinical picture. #Nightingales

Why these diagnoses? The thesis is that they share either an underlying biological relationship (genetic, environmental, pathophysiological or otherwise) OR a nosological one: they are actually different but often confused for each other. #Nightingales

It’s my hope that by communicating across community, we can all become better informed advocates and allies; help each other find more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment; and discuss science + clinical approaches from an interdisciplinary perspective. #Nightingales
